Back in the late 1960's my father and I saw a mountain lion in our headlights in Addison County, Vermont. We watched it for about 10 seconds before it disappeared into the woods. No one believed us, of course, but about a month later a large Mountain Lion was killed in upstate New York. There was a picture of it in the Burlington Free Press. I wish I'd kept the newpaper clipping, but I didn't. Also, the Vermont F&G have collected confirmed scat and hair from a Mountain Lion in northern Vermont.This would have been in the 1980's or 1990's if I remember right. There were articles about it in the Burlington Free Press and the Vermont Sportsman (monthly hunting/fishing newspaper that is not defunct). I don't know if the Burlington Free Press has any of this in their archives, but they may have. I'lle-mail them to see if they do or not.
